Ludhiana (Punjab): "My father was under debt, no leader came for help," says a tear eyed Gursevak Singh, the son of a Punjab farmer who committed suicide.

Gursevak's father, who was drenched in debt, committed suicide after his crops got damaged.

"My father committed suicide, he was under debt and succumbing to the tension of repaying the loan he took the decision of ending his life. No leader helped us," he says.

Ever since the death of the breadwinner of the family, the members remain to live in constant ordeal.

"Our crops got ruined and he was under debt. He used to remain in constant tension. In the end, he committed suicide. I am 10th passed. I had to leave my schooling, I want to study more," says the farmer's daughter Naseeb Kaur.

In his last days, he owed Rs. 2.5 lakh to the lenders and ended his life under stress.
